I am running Cygwin on windows 7 32 bit. I need to calculate using a single command so, to do that i typed: echo "2+4"|bc This shows me: -bash: bc: command not found. Does anyone help me in getting the result.

  • The `bc` command is not installed. You have to use the Cygwin setup to install the package that contains it. – axiac Jul 20 '17 at 17:38

The command bc is probably not installed on your cygwin environment. You can use straight up bash calculation for simple math like that by doing echo $((2+4)).
